Analysis of Tech ME



Electricity excites me
The intricacies of sparks
sparks me
My command reset,
reflects the notes you've resided for
Me
and my services are
On, voice on,  
Hi, Im here
On and ready to be of use
Don’t be nervous
I’m yours, whatever you do
Voice on, operate
Operate obstacle in order of
Order it, clean it, no, save it
Voice, Shut up and listen
I’m tryin-recalculating

I cant shake the feeling that the reason we use women's voices in home assistants is because we don't respect women unless they do something that benefits men.

Because this is what it feels like to be a women
To be told
To do anything and everything
But never a single thing is for you
To be told
That when he says some sexist shit
I should bend my comeback into a quiet comment
Because it's better to break me then check him  
Thus the standard has been set
Siri would have liked it so
So should she.  
And I watch the words I would have said
Turn into dust
How do men just
Take a voice
Tuned to sound like me
Make me
Make me
make me say whatever they like
Like I don't have my own identity  
I'm too tired of being tune, twisted and tangled to then
be told

Okay Alexa powering off.
